Ilkay Gundogan slammed by Joleon Lescott for not 'taking responsibility' and tracking the run of Marquinhos after Brazilian initially gave PSG the lead over Man City in thrilling Champions League clash

Joleon Lescott has criticised Ilkay Gundogan for failing to track the run of Marquinhos for Paris Saint-Germain's opener against Manchester City.

PSG took the early lead over City in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final tie, with Marquinhos emphatically latching onto Angel Di Maria's in-swinging corner in the 15th minute in Paris.

It was the worst possible start for Pep Guardiola's on Wednesday night, and at half-time, BT Sport pundit Lescott pinned the blame on German star Gundogan.
